Losing the Holiday Weight–Update
85.2 Kilograms
I realized that when I weigh myself daily there’s none of the American Idol suspense and hoopla as I step up to the scale. So this blog will have to start off a little flaccid. I’ve watched those unwanted grams magically disappear this week thanks to the steps I mentioned on the 11th of this month. This morning I weighed in at 85.2 k that’s 0.3k below my target outcome and almost 2k in a week. A solid diet of no more that 1,900 calories and daily running payed off. I expected it to take a couple of weeks but it seems to have dropped faster. I wouldn’t recommend trying to lose two kilos in a week, but if it just happens it just happens.
Born to Run
This month I lucked out with my Audible credit (audible.com); I opted to pick up the book “Born to Run” http://bit.ly/4vKD5w . An account of a reporter who helped a running legend set up a race with a Native American tribe and some Ultramarathon Heavyweights in the Copper Canyon of Mexico. An amazing listen. If you have a commute to work/school you could do worse, runner or not. This book reminded me why I run in the first place. It’s fun.
Sitting FOol
No, I’m not just a running and dieting FOol. There’s still a lot of sitting going on. I realized last year, however, that there’s only so much one can say about sitting without sounding like a transcendental pedant. So, from now on I’ll be writing about more than just sitting. Perched atop an apple crate one night with a gin in my hand, I was having a conversation with my Yoga Buddy–our local watering hole has only apple crates on which to sit, but we’re spared the flaming garbage can for warmth; the place is fully stocked with a modern day heating system. YB mentioned that there’s a lot to be said about meditation but restricting the blog to that could make it a little stale. I think he was right, and I’m no Joseph Goldstein or Jack Kornfield, so here we are with a little bit different content on the FOol. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Peace Always,
The FOol
